Which of these would be better in terms of soundstage/detail? Am I even looking at the right amps? I'm going to pair one of these amps with a bifrost multibit. I just need some help on choosing the right amp.

Please share your thoughts/experiences as I intend on purchasing tonight.

Jotunheim is overall brighter and more capable technically speaking while Asgard 2 is slightly warmer and has what some would consider a more natural tonality. I think Jotunheim would work better with HD650, maybe too much of a clinical signature when paired with HD800.
 
Both are quality SS amps.
